Victoria: Blue Fox Café

08.26.13

BRUNCH. The meal that I use as an excuse to indulge in
my favourite breakfast fare that I’d otherwise feel too guilty eating in the
early hours of the day. Blue Fox Café
is one of THE brunch places to hit up in Victoria. After a relaxing morning of
sleeping in, reading, and just overall calm, we were ready to eat.

A friend who came here before mentioned that the eggs
benny were better than those at L’Avenue in Montreal. I love their eggs benny
with smoked benedict so the bar was set. The one from Blue Fox
Café was decent. I’m trying to be critical but it’s hard when you enjoy
hollandaise enough you wouldn’t mind drinking it from a cup. No, that’s
disgusting of course I wouldn’t do that (in public…). But clearly, drenched in
sauce (what do I do with that random sprig of parsley?), and awesome homefries,
my cavewoman appetite was satisfied. Roll me outta here!

Seems like the grilled tomatoes are there so it doesn’t
seem like such a heart attack on a plate. I wanna eat this every day. And
hypothetically, I’d jog in the morning and workout in the evening too. And
unicorns would exist in this world too.

We attacked our food with such vigour (damnit, does
anyone even use that word?). Then quickly slowed down—it was quite a heavy
meal. And definitely a change from tasteless fibrous cereal (yeah, we went
there) with skim milk and oatmeal packets that we’d been living on for the past
week. We were so happy…haha

My attempt at a dining room pan shot.

Verdict: Let’s just
say I’m really glad that we have some great breakfast/brunch options in Toronto
or else I’d still be reminiscing about this meal at Blue Fox Café. This place
is unpretentious, as a When I flipped through photos of this meal, I started
planning my next brunch in the city…Rose and Sons! Who wants to join? :D
